Fancy Pants (1950).eng Subtitles

00:00:11,211 --> 00:00:13,Hey, fancy pants!

00:00:29,062 --> 00:00:32,No popcorn during my performance,

00:00:32,265 --> 00:00:34,peasants.

00:01:27,654 --> 00:01:30,January 6th, 1912.

00:01:31,157 --> 00:01:34,William Howard Taft,
president of these United States,

00:01:34,427 --> 00:01:37,signs an Enabling Act admitting
the territory of New Mexico

00:01:37,630 --> 00:01:40,into the Union
as the 47th state.

00:01:40,533 --> 00:01:42,From a far day in 1850,

00:01:42,869 --> 00:01:45,the stubborn frontiersmen
of this great territory

00:01:45,538 --> 00:01:47,asserted their rights to statehood.

00:01:47,540 --> 00:01:50,This, then, is not the story
of how New Mexico won

00:01:50,343 --> 00:01:52,its heartbreaking struggle
for admission.

00:01:52,745 --> 00:01:57,Rather, it is an account of one of the
reasons the struggle took 62 years.

00:01:57,550 --> 00:01:59,This, then, is the saga
of a lost cause

00:02:00,153 --> 00:02:02,and one man who helped
to lose it.

00:02:03,022 --> 00:02:06,His story begins
one summer's day in
00:02:06,493 --> 00:02:09,on a cricket field
just outside London.

00:02:10,330 --> 00:02:16,The score is 76 for the gentlemen,
105 for the players.

00:02:17,237 --> 00:02:20,Lynhaven makes ready
to deliver again to Mr. Fairwick.

00:02:21,574 --> 00:02:23,A splendid blow.

00:02:24,878 --> 00:02:26,Oh, I say, there.

00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,- Aggie! Cut out that whistling.
- But Ma, he hit a homer.

00:02:30,450 --> 00:02:32,Whistling ain't refined.
Now, you quit it

00:02:32,652 --> 00:02:35,or I'll bang you over the head
with these.

00:02:35,288 --> 00:02:38,Oh, I say, this is a bit thick, what?

00:02:38,925 --> 00:02:41,Well, for my part, I find
the young lady rather intriguing.

00:02:42,128 --> 00:02:44,Oh, you can't be serious,
Van-Basingwell.

00:02:44,597 --> 00:02:46,Never seen anything quite so crude.

00:02:46,666 --> 00:02:50,Dress, gaudy jewelry,
disgusting display of wealth.

00:02:50,436 --> 00:02:51,Oh, indeed, yes.

00:02:51,871 --> 00:02:54,And I made a point
of introducing myself.

00:02:54,707 --> 00:02:56,- You don't say.
- Yes.

00:02:56,776 --> 00:02:58,Name is Floud.

00:02:58,411 --> 00:03:00,Mother is an American
nouveau riche,

00:03:00,547 --> 00:03:04,determined to inflict culture
upon her daughter Agatha.

00:03:04,651 --> 00:03:08,- Quite a pippin, huh, Twombley?
- Scarcely your cup of tea, George.

00:03:08,521 --> 00:03:10,Oh, beyond a cup of tea, Twombley.

00:03:10,623 --> 00:03:14,More substantial thinking needed
these impoverished days.

00:03:14,327 --> 00:03:16,Beef and potatoes.

00:03:21,501 --> 00:03:22,Oh, I say.

00:03:23,136 --> 00:03:24,My word.

00:03:25,104 --> 00:03:26,Indeed.

00:03:26,839 --> 00:03:28,Look, Ma, we g***t ourselves
a souvenir.

00:03:28,875 --> 00:03:31,You give them back their ball
this minute.

00:03:32,245 --> 00:03:34,Hand it over.

00:03:44,824 --> 00:03:46,I say!

00:03:46,259 --> 00:03:48,- Is it broken?
- I don't think so.

00:03:48,228 --> 00:03:50,- Can you continue?
- Of course.

00:03:50,196 --> 00:03:51,- Stout fellow.
- Let's play.

00:03:53,266 --> 00:03:56,- Now, keep out of the game, will you?
- The Flouds.

00:03:56,469 --> 00:03:59,Oh, your lordship.
I'm glad to see you.

00:03:59,405 --> 00:04:02,- Hi, earl.
- Hello. Mrs. Floud, Miss Floud,

00:04:02,575 --> 00:04:05,allow me to introduce my friend
Lord Twombley.

00:04:05,745 --> 00:04:07,- How's that?
- Twombley.

00:04:07,347 --> 00:04:09,- Howdy, lordship.
- Charmed.

00:04:09,482 --> 00:04:11,- Aggie.
- Glad to meet you.

00:04:11,684 --> 00:04:14,- Charmed again.
- Well, earl, what do you know?

00:04:14,787 --> 00:04:16,What do I know?

00:04:16,889 --> 00:04:18,Well, not very much.

00:04:18,458 --> 00:04:22,I stopped to ask if you couldn't drop in
at my country place for the weekend.

00:04:22,795 --> 00:04:24,- Be glad to.
- Good, good.

00:04:25,131 --> 00:04:26,I'd like you to meet my family.

00:04:27,166 --> 00:04:30,- Delighted. Wouldn't we, Aggie?
- Oh, yeah, we're charmed.

00:04:30,837 --> 00:04:33,Yes. Well, then
I'll send my carriage for you.

00:04:33,706 --> 00:04:36,Be ready and waiting, your lordship.

00:04:39,145 --> 00:04:40,- Good afternoon.
- So long.

00:04:41,014 --> 00:04:43,Toodle-loo.

00:04:44,384 --> 00:04:47,- Now we're getting somewhere.
- Yeah.

00:04:48,021 --> 00:04:50,I wanna get somewhere
and loosen these corsets.

00:04:51,591 --> 00:04:54,But George, you haven't g***t
a country place, nor a family.

00:04:54,994 --> 00:04:56,- But Reggie has.
- Reggie?

00:04:56,562 --> 00:04:59,Yes, Reggie, and he's in Africa.

00:04:59,299 --> 00:05:02,And I know just where to dig up
a suitable family.

00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:11,Tennis, anyone?

00:05:11,744 --> 00:05:14,How can you think of tennis
at a time like this?

00:05:15,415 --> 00:05:17,I say, what are we doing
at this beastly play?

00:05:18,017 --> 00:05:21,I told you we needed suitable family
to impress the Americans.

00:05:21,554 --> 00:05:23,Behold the mater.

00:05:24,691 --> 00:05:28,Ring for Humphrey, Cyril.
My nerves scream for tea.

00:05:29,162 --> 00:05:31,Of course.

00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,Did you ring, mum?

00:05:36,936 --> 00:05:39,Why didn't you wait till I rang,
you idiot?

00:05:54,053 --> 00:05:55,Tea, mum?

00:06:09,268 --> 00:06:10,I slitched.

00:06:10,937 --> 00:06:14,I ** soaked again,
you monster! Stop!

00:06:15,375 --> 00:06:17,This piece will dry out like new.

00:06:17,310 --> 00:06:19,It's pumpernickel.
Just needs pumping out.

00:06:20,246 --> 00:06:23,- Blundering American idiot.
- Ought to go back to his native land.

00:06:23,783 --> 00:06:26,If we could solve the disappearance
of Alicia's necklace.

00:06:26,886 --> 00:06:30,I'm still not satisfied with Humphrey's
explanation of his whereabouts

00:06:30,590 --> 00:06:33,- during the time of the crime.
- But I've already explained.

00:06:33,826 --> 00:06:35,I was in the village

00:06:35,495 --> 00:06:38,performing an errand
for his lordship and...

00:06:40,166 --> 00:06:43,And if his lordship were here,
instead of away on a hunting trip,

00:06:43,669 --> 00:06:47,- he would verify my statement.
- Indeed.

00:06:55,481 --> 00:06:59,- Your lordship!
- You heard his story. What about it?

00:06:59,552 --> 00:07:01,Amazing concoction of fabrication.

00:07:01,387 --> 00:07:04,I never realized a trusted retainer
would turn out to be a scoundrel.

00:07:05,057 --> 00:07:08,- He's lying, I tell you. Lying.
- It's no use, Humphrey.

00:07:09,061 --> 00:07:10,But I swear to you,

00:07:10,496 --> 00:07:14,I was in Barkley's Limited, buying
his lordship a pair of suspenders.

00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,I can prove it by the man
who took me up in the elevator.

00:07:17,737 --> 00:07:22,Humphrey, I accuse you
of the theft of my lady's necklace.

00:07:22,275 --> 00:07:23,But there must be a mistake.

00:07:23,876 --> 00:07:26,Humphrey is an old
and trusted family retainer,

00:07:26,712 --> 00:07:28,been in the family for generations.

00:07:28,748 --> 00:07:32,This man is not Humphrey,
but an imposter.

00:07:33,019 --> 00:07:36,When he said "suspenders"
for "braces" and "elevator" for "lift",

00:07:37,089 --> 00:07:39,I suspected he was an American.

00:07:39,926 --> 00:07:41,Bravo, Cyril!

00:07:41,627 --> 00:07:44,Accusations, just accusations.

00:07:44,530 --> 00:07:47,I defy you to produce one ounce
of proof.

00:07:47,567 --> 00:07:49,He asks for proof, Sir Wimbley.

00:07:49,602 --> 00:07:53,I can prove beyond a shadow
of a doubt that you are the culprit.

00:07:53,706 --> 00:07:56,And you expect a jury to believe that?

00:07:56,309 --> 00:07:58,Then perhaps they'll believe this.

00:07:59,011 --> 00:08:02,A check on your fingerprints
has just come back.

00:08:02,548 --> 00:08:05,- From the laboratory?
- Absolutely.

00:08:05,785 --> 00:08:09,And they match those of that
well-known murderer, Oliver Grimes.

00:08:09,922 --> 00:08:13,All right. I ** Oliver Grimes,
the well-known American murderer.

00:08:13,926 --> 00:08:17,But you'll never take me alive.

00:08:18,464 --> 00:08:24,Foiled, Mr. Grimes. For I **
Inspector Kirk, Scotland Yard.

00:08:24,504 --> 00:08:26,Curses.

00:08:33,980 --> 00:08:36,Unfortunately, I've been
something of a recluse.

00:08:36,549 --> 00:08:40,And now I face the embarrassing
problem of impressing the young lady.

00:08:40,553 --> 00:08:42,It's most difficult to explain.

00:08:42,555 --> 00:08:45,What his lordship means is,
he's met an American girl...
